FUNERAL OF JAMES HALE BATES.
Simple but Impressive Services Held at His Late Home This Morning.
The funeral services over the remains of James Hale Bates were held this morning at his late home, 64 Remsen street. The services were simple, as had been requested by Mr. Bates. They were conducted by the Rev. Dr. N. P. Dewey, pastor of the Church of the Pilgrims, with which Mr. Bates had long been connected as an officer and member. There was a brief invocation, the reading of the scriptures and a prayer by the pastor, with the singing of the hymns, "Peace, Perfect Peace," "Lead, Kindly Light," and "O, Paradise," by a quartet, consisting of Miss Mary Mansfield, soprano; Miss Alice Sovereign, contralto; Paul Default, tenor, and Henry Chapman, bass, under the direction of Abram Ray Tyler, organist of the Church of the Pilgrims.
Many of Mr. Bates' business associates and friends were at the services, including General Stewart L. Woodruff, A. R. Penney, Dr. Truman J. Backus, John A. Ripley, Edward G. Haddon, Alfred Hunter, Charles Isham, George White, George P. Rowell and James McKeen. The latter eight men acted as pall bearers. The Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New York and the Sons of the Revolution were represented at the funeral services.
Mr. Bates, who had long been a resident of Brooklyn, was known for his unostentatious benevolence, especially among the people of his native town, where his summers were passed at his model farm. He had been retired from active business since 1895. He had been head of the firm of J. N. Bates & Co., advertising agents, and was the first to make a contract of over $100,000 for advertising.
